The Nevada Transportation Authority approved commercial robotaxi permits for Uber, Tesla, and Waymo in Clark County.
The companies may collectively deploy up to 8,000 autonomous vehicles over the next year.
Tesla received the largest permit for up to 5,000 vehicles.
Uber secured authorization for 1,000 robotaxis through partnerships with Motional and Zoox.
Waymo received approval for 1,000 vehicles.
The move scales autonomous ride-hailing in Las Vegas and intensifies sector competition.
